Title: How much would it cost to post out an engine
Post by: GOLF-MK3-GTI on 07 March 2013, 13:54
As above really, got a micra engine which i have sold to a fella from cornwall. I wanted to know which courier service would be cheap to send out this engine if i was to put it on a pallet.

The engine is worth £1000. and i'm not kidding  :cool: sold it for £650.00  :grin:

All the pallet networks will charge you around the £50 mark. Palletline is a good one.

You will need to drain it of oil and plug all outlets then tie it to a pallet.

yeah engine is all dry. I acutally bought a Micra about 2 years ago and the seller gave me an engine, 4-2-1 mani and a twin weber setup.

I sold mani and twin weber for £285, sold car for £500 and now sold engine for £650. I bought everything for £600  :grin:

I was well and truly into jap cars, now I'm into VW's.  :cool:

I've got an ongoing project at the minute, it's a Mazda 323 gti, and to be fair it's even rarer than the 16V anni, as there only 43 of them left in UK.
